We went to visit this church yesterday evening. We had a bit of a sad moment just before we left. We had arranged this meeting last week, and surprisingly enough the people seemed quite keen... But yesterday evening, just before we were coming out to meet them he rang. He didn't think the building would be suitable, they had never rented it out, etc etc...Did we really insist on having a look? Which we did...
When we met them they were really nice and kind! And the building was great... There are a few dificulties, but not impossible...
The building we like best is just round the corner, and is Reformed (they say) but they don't want to know....Sighhhhhhh... They told us the building wasn't suitable.. But it is the most suitable building we have seen, and we have seen quite a few.....
I know the Bible teaches us that God can change the hearts of kings like brooks of water, but whether that counts for Reformed Christians, I do not know...
Anyway, things seem to be moving somehow, but we really value your prayers for us!
I just had a Dutch magazine, who has published my first article about our school, in order to try to raise some money for us...Praise God!
oh come on, name some names!!!

ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm afraid that for some people names aren't necessary...
I will be praying for your efforts in starting this school. Is there any more new info. about your school?
ReplyDeleteWhen I was looking (and still am) into this issue, the ACE programme came up. Is it a good programme? I have my reservations, but would like to hear about what you thought of it?
it is a good program, and like any program not perfect.... We are hoping to use it at our school. You have to add on the extra lessons, like art and music etc, but they help with that as well. Academically it is very, very good, very thorough and Bible based. Universities (also Ox-bridge) are quite keen on students who have done ACE, as their standard of work is generally much higher than state school pupils, and even public school puplis...
